Are they allowed to enter the euros? Or is it like the roar nats where you just need to be a member of the host organization?

I wondered the same thing,I don't remember any euro guys ever attending a roar nats.. guess it wouldn't look right to have a American win the euros or European win the roar nats... it wouldn't really matter to me..

Anyone know if Lee Martin is running JQ's car or HB still?

You have to be a member of the EFRA block. This is their version of our ROAR Nationals.

That track must have a really strange surface. Lots of "crazy" tire choices seem to be ruling the day so far. Ongaro TQ'd a round on AKA Motos.

The most interesting part to me it's the track is being repaired with something tacky. Almost thought the cars would be setup to handle the track instead of vice versa.

Very nice facility, supposedly right at a million $ to build. All paid for by the government.

This track looks very difficult to me. Pot holes/ruts and some tricky jumps. Whoever wins this race is a bad dude. I remember Ronnefalk's video a month or so ago called the worlds toughest rc track. I think he may be right, this may be the toughest track I've ever seen.

If the car is better set up for the conditions you can be more comfortable pushing it right? The mugen's geometry shines in these conditions and Batlle knows a thing or two, not forgetting the Mugen Team is strong in both performance and knowledge.

@JQ, come on we want you to spit fire and roast the race director team
